The presence of two top leaders and chief of the nation’s largest mass organisation at a national conference of people’s committees and people’s councils has demonstrated the administration’s care to public involvement to State management.

High profile presence at the event, which was opened in Hanoi on September 11, included Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong and President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Huynh Dam.

PM Dung opened the meeting by recognising important contributions to national achievements over the recent past by local people’s councils and committees.

He said the two agencies have managed to reform their performance and take innovation in State management at the local level during the 2004-11 term.

The Government leader urged them to improve the quality of inspection and supervision which remain inefficient in several localities, resulting in wastefulness and losses in project execution and poor management of natural resources such as land and minerals.

Dung asked the People’s Committee at all levels to focus on inflation control and socio-economic development so as to join the entire nation in achieving the GDP growth rate of at least 6.5 percent in 2010 as planned.

The People’s Committee is the official name of the local administration while the People’s Council consists of representatives of people of all walks of life in residential quarters./.
